Searching for Low-Energy Antihelium with AMS-02

The search for cosmic antihelium provides a new opportunity to learn about important problems in modern physics: the antimatter asymmetry and the nature of dark matter. A first-time discovery of cosmic antihelium would be a strong indicator of unknown antimatter sources in our Galaxy. Based on Monte Carlo simulations, this contribution discusses the current status of the low-energy antihelium analysis with the AMS-02 experiment on the International Space Station. The low-energy region has the advantage of a highly suppressed astrophysical background.
